MoNEALLY's CAPTURE.
His Brother Succeeds in Obtaining His
Release

HALIFAX, N. s., Dec. 25.Frank G.
McNeally, the Saco bank embezzler, was
released from custody tonight. His brother
Harry bearing letters from the officials Of
the Saco and Biddeford Savings Institution,
appeared in City Marshal Cotter's Office
this afternoon. He inquired why his brother
was a prisoner. The Marshal stated
that Frank was arrested on authority
Of proclamation Offering a reward for his
arrest Harry answered that there was no
charge against the prisoner. The Marshal
said he had no such information and did not
knowany reason why the prisoner should
be discharged Harry then produced a
letter signed by NJ. H. Kelly, Treasurer of
the Saco and Biddeford Savings Institution.
ASKED HIS RELEASE.
1t set forth that the bearer was Harry
A. McNeally, man in whom they had the
utmost confidence, and prayed that the
officers holding his brother would hand the
latter over to his charge, as they believed
his release to be the only means of obtaining
the stolen bonds. Harry refused to give up
the letters The c~unsel for the Marshal
doubted whether Frank could be liberated
on the strength of this letter
and said that in any case he could not be
released until Harry was identified. The
letter was read and re-read, and finally got
into the hands of a lawyer, and Detec-
tive Power, who kept it and ex-
pressed an intention of keeping it
despite the protestations of Harry who
claimed that it had been torn from his
grasp. The lawyer, however, said he had
not used force, and that any way the letter
should be delivered to the authorities here.
ANOTHER LETTER PRODUCED.
Harry McNeally then invoked the aid of
Consul Philan. He then produced another
letter, this one from President Goodall, of
the Saco and Biddeford Savings Institution.
1t was dated last Friday, and read as fol-
lows:
''Io tUhom IL may Concern: Since the
by +. C. Medically of funds
of this institution in August last
the officers of the institution have known
of no other person who has so earnestly and
labored for the return of the
bonds and the reclamation of the offender
as has his brother, Harry A. McNeally, who
now goes to Halifax again with the same
end in view and bearing our earnest hopes
and wishes for his success"
Tonight the City Marshal and
Detective Power handed Frank over to
Harry upon authority of a letter from
Treasurer Kelly. Harry McNeally said to-
night that the Saco Bank would not lose a
dollar through his brothers embezzlement,
as everything had been arranged.

THE DAY IN CHARLESTON.
Christmas Happenings in South Caro-
lina's Metrop lis.

Lieut.. Golden. acting chief of the Charles
ton police, has issued orders that all tramps
found on the streets be arrested, as pre-
caution against the sneak thieves and do
nothings who usually infest the city about
this time of the year. II arrested ana con-
victed they will be sent to jail for vagrancy.
A Cantini, an Italian shopkeeper in
Charleston, shot and killed Robert Ander-
son, d colored sailor, Saturday night. Can
tlni was arrested and at police headquar-
ters he told the story of the shooting. He
said in the afternoon about 8 o'clock An
derson and colored man named Bailey had
tight in his store, after which Bailey was
gotten out of the way by his friends. An
derson, however, remained about the store
for some time under the impression that
Bailey was secreted there. be went on In
terrible way and threatened to kill Peter
Cantini, the prisoners brother. Anderson
then went off with some of his friends. and
soon after that it was reported to the Can
TINS that he intended to do something
with the Cantinis." Anderson, however,
came back, but nothing occ rred, and he
was prevailed upon to leave the place.
Later in the afternoon there
was noisy gathering of colored men,
and among them Anderson. This crowd,
shortly before the shooting, scattered, and
were obliged so TO do by the attacks made
upon several of those present by Anderson.
About o'clock Anderson went back to the
store, when the Cantinis, fearing some VIC
lence, We're about to close up. Anderson
came up TO the doorstep with large sailors
knife in his hand, and was met by A. Can
TIM, who drew his pistol promptly and told
Anderson not TO advance. The latter backed
away from the door steps and again went
off. Cantini then shut in all the windows
and closed one-half of the door. When he
was about to complete the shutting up, An
derson again appeared at the door with the
open knife in his hand and being ordered off,
and refusing, and at the same time advanc-
ing. Cantini fired and Anderson fell. An
derson was shot just under the right shout
der-blade, the pistol being what is common
ly described as a bulldog" He died in
very few moments after being shot.

ON RAIL AND CRossTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.


Circles.
The Car Accountants department of the
Central railroad, now located in Macon, is
to be transferred to this city, and will oc-
cupy rooms in the new building on West
Broad street This department is under
the charge of Mr. Theodore Wells, and en-
ploys large number Of clerks.
A correspondent writing from Talladega
is responsible for the following: st is
rumored, andsthe rumor has been traced to
a reliable source, that the Georgia Central
railroad system will on April /, 1885, secure
control of the Admission and Atlantic narrow
gauge road. broaden the gauge from Sylla-
eauga to Admission, and begin construction
from Syllacauga to Blockton and on to
Montgomery. giving Taliadega and other
towns along the line connection with the
outer world by Montgomery besides COM
peting with the Georgia Pacific at Admission.
By this consolidation the Georgia Central
system can haul goods from the Eastern
port, arriving at Savannah via Syllacauga,
TO Montgomery, Birmingham. Talladega
and Admission, and can control the ship
ments of iron from these cities by giving
cheap rates and through haul to the gulf
Other advantages to be d rived will give
the Georgia Central system control of the
Admission and Cincinnati road, from Annis-
ton to Alfalfa and Gadsden, thus gathering
the products of nearly the entire mineral
belt now developed"
The Augusta and Chattanooga railroad
matter still continues TO be the general topic
of conversation in Augusta. Capt. W. B.
Young denies that Major Branch purchased
w. b. Lowe Il Cos lien for the railroad,
and says that the books Maj. Branch car
ried with him We're rot those of the rail
road. Rumor says otherwise Mr.. Bondu-
rant, of the firm Of W B. Lowe a. Co.
made the sale of the $4,000 lien held by
them against the road, and the exact figure
paid was $4,000. MesSrs. w. B. Lowe and
w. B. Jopling, the other members of the
firm. say the price is too low, and they will
not agree to the sale. Mr.. Bondurant says
it is true that the price was small, but the
firm was in debt and tine creditors threat
ened to levy on his personal property if the
debt was not paid by January,
therefore he decided to sell IL
for what he could realize on it. The other
partners repudiate the sale, and have,
through their attorneys served notice to
that effect on tho railroad company and
Maj. Branch. Bondurant claims that he
had a legal right to make the SALE and will
stick to it. Maj. Branch says that he will
hold the firm to the sale AS made by Mr.
Bondurant. This will probably cause dis
solution of the firm, but there is hardly a
shadow of doubt but that Maj. B. anch is
acting fer the railroad company and that
they are really buying $4,000 for SIC, 900.
Somebody is bound to make big money out
of these transactions.

Gave His Wife Five Times the Money
Ask ed for and Saved Her q Seat.

Gave Ills w ne rive IlIueS Inc money
Asked for and Saved Her Seat.
From the Boston Record.
A friend of the Historian sends in this
moral little story:
On a suburban train the other night two
gentlemen occupied seats opposite each
other, evidently reserviug seats for belated
friends
One passenger after another entered the
car until every seat was taken. several were
standing, and the train just about to pull
out.
"CSive them upa' said one gentleman.
Mo- said the other, mot till the last
minute"
And Just as the last minute had licked
away and the train started two women
rushed into the car, breathless and weighted
with bundles. AS soon as they were seated
one of the devoted benedicts said:
what made you come SO earlyl Why
didn't you stay longer"
The fair one, still painting, replied:
Stayed until spent every cent, then
ran for the train.p
ES'Spent every cent" calculated benedict.
''Why, gave you SIS for every one you said
you needed--spent it all. "
The lady who overheard the dialogue was
lost i'll amazement at sight of a man who
actually gave his wife five times what she
asked for. OF course she reported the case
10 her husband at the table that night, and
TO her most intimate friend next day. The
friend reported IL to her most intimate
friend, and she in turn to hers And so the
story has gone like wildfire through the
northern suburbs, and the very least that
can be done to immortaliz9 the benedict is
10 put him into print so all the HUB may
hear and heed.

GtORGIA,S CAPITAL.
A Compromise in Stubborn Fight
OVera Railroad.


ATLANTA, GA, Dec. GA stubborn le-
gal fight has just been ended by compro-
mise. Some time ago a number of stock
holders of the Northeastern railroad filed an
injunction to prevent the transfer of a sec
ton of the road from Cornelia to Tallulah
Falls to Judge w. B. Thomas and to set
aside certain large claims in stocks and
bonds against the Northeastern by the Ter
minal Company and Richmond and Dan
vile. The best legal talent was employed,
and the case was fought to the Supreme
Court, where it was recently argued Be
fore decision was rendered a compromise
was effected, the Northea tern stockholders
withdrawing their opposition to the Thomas
transfer, but will still fight the claims of the
Terminal company and the Richmond and
Danville. Mr. Thomas proposes to extend
his section of the road through Rabun Gap
to Knoxville.
The day has passed. quietly here, although
the city has been full of people and crowds
were on the streets. The only demonstra-
ton of interest was made by the Salvation
Army at the artesian well, which attracted
a large audience of curious people.
